Pens Preseason Opener

Hey all, The Pittsburgh Penguins kicked off their preseason against the Detroit Red Wings last night and were victorious by a score of 3-2. The players looked good on the ice epically the new guys, who are trying to make a spot on this team. One thing that really impressed me was how Evgeni Malkin Looked while he was on the ice. Malkin was recently coming off of getting his ACL/MCL worked on over the off season.He might be #71 in your programs, but last night he was #1 in your hearts, picking up the number one star of the game. In one shift he was able to force 3 turnovers, and on one of those even turn it into a goal. The goal tending of the penguins looked even better than what they did in camps. Mark-Andre Fleury did not look good at all in camps. He was sloppy, out of sync, and just all around awful. Not last night though, even though he only played 2 periods so that the coaches could get a look at their new players to see who will make the team. My personal opinion is the youngster on the defense. Even though he is only 18 years old, I like the way he plays. You nay Sayers think about this, one Sydney Crosby was the Pens first overall pick when he was just 18 years old. Let's just hope this kid, provided he makes the team, will take after good ol' Sid the Kid. I think if they Pens play like they are now in the regular season, they will be the ones representing the east for the Stanley Cup Finals.
